Back at it

[blackawdtsi]

After a LONG break, and a lot of connecting the dots; I am back into DSMs.

Sunday afternoon I traded my R6 for Jungy's 2g. It's a great car, a little rough on the edges, but a great car. The motor feels strong and well put together but I still haven't gotten around to a compression test. Haven't boost leak tested or anything else.

So far all I've done is get an alignment. It was way off. And tune the car. It's running corn but was at 14:1 on 26psi... A little hot for my taste so I brought it back down to 12:1. I have to give credit to Jungy or whoever tuned the car, all I had to do was move the sliders evenly and the AFR stayed consistent.

Before I post the dyno numbers (I did one pull at Full Blown), I want to thank Brendon (Jungy) for a great build. There's not much I have to do except main upgrades. Turbo, IC, Trans. I love this car already and it's hard to not get on the gas.

Here's the dyno sheet. 26psi / T3 HX40 / E85



I had originally planned to 6262 it right away, but I really like the HX40. Sounds like a jet engine (never had that on my 67) and has a broad powerband. Another thing I never had on the 67.

Not really too sure where to go with it. Will be putting K Sports in for sure as well as a twin disc and trans. That's the plan for now.

Nice! Out of the box and great powerband and peak numbers with just some tuning. Bring it up to BIR next weekend?

[goodhart]

Awesome. I've been dying to see some number from this thing!

Keep the HX40, that thing has a lot left in it. I say skip the FMIC (I thought it had a pretty good sized one already?) and clutch too and spend that money on a paint job.

[blackawdtsi]

Haven't decided whether or not to try and drive it up to Proving Grounds. I'm not sure if I'd want to try driving it two hours away yet. Though Jungy did to meet me in Rogers so maybe.

The FMIC is a good one, but I have a feeling it would run out of steam 30psi+ same with the ACT 2600. I do agree that it needs some paint though, maybe a 2GB conversion first?

That's a good budget option. But I'm not interested in all the weight and harsh engagement. I know a few tricks for making the engagement less harsh but I'd rather do it right the first time. I ran a Quarter Master TD for about three months before my accident. I loved it, easy engagement, held everything and was very predictable. With the sintered iron discs I still don't think anyone's found the power limit. Might start looking at Exedy but I'm not sure they're worth the price difference.

A QM twin disk with easy engagment? That's almost impossible to believe. The only QM TD I've driven was on a subie, but it was rediculously hard to drive.

I didn't mean ACT2100 type engagement, I meant less than 4/6 puck, sorry. But it was really easy to drive. Even my wife drove it a few times without clutch problems on 280 cams.

Wow that's pretty awesome. I thought my act 6-puck was really easy/ non harsh engagment. But if the QM for a dsm is good, then there is really no beating that. You won't ever have to replace it haha.

[turbotalon1g]

lol, welcome back.

Love all the advice in here. I'd like to see what you can get out of that hX40, they wake up after 30psi

[C3L1CA]

Did you used to have that red 1g?

Nice numbers

Ya that's me.

[C3L1CA]

Hahaha I remember when you pulled the power on the monitor at db when you were getting tuned so nobody could see your numbers!

Any pictures of the car? From memory you picked up a damn clean car!

[blackawdtsi]

That day is how I remember you so well, BRAD!!! Haha, my street racing days are over so I don't care to hide stuff anymore.

I don't have any exterior pics yet. Will get some up soon.

I had a very adventurous day today. On my drive out to Little Canadia to pick up b00stedspyder's 2g tails; I noticed a weird sound coming from the driver's side rear tire.

I kinda ignored it thinking it maybe suspension was just creeking. When I got back home I finally decided something was up, it had gotten louder and louder. Especially at low speeds but the faster I went the quicker the wub wub sound was. I got out and kicked the tire, the wheel moved a little without the lugs following immediately.

The garage I have to work on the car is in Maple Grove and I live in St. Louis Park. So I drove to the Discount Tire in Plymouth. I asked the guy to torque the lug nuts down. He comes out and tries to tighten the lug nuts. When I say try, he used two 1/4 turns and said, "I can't do this for you. Your car is unsafe to drive and unless you buy new wheels and replace the studs, I can't work on it. When the wheel wobbles it screws up the studs, that's why they won't tighten."

My jaw dropped. So I unscrewed one of the lugs and told him that the studs hadn't even been touched. There was zero indication of the wheel even touching the studs. He still refused to tighten them.

So I had to call everyone I know to find stock lug nuts. Since the spline drives on the car were eating away at the ID of the wheel stud hole. Found some, but had to run to MG to grab my torque wrench and spline drive key. Then back to Discount to tighten them. Then over to MAP to get the lug nuts. Finally just got home at 9 after some Honda tried stalking me to race.

To be honest, today was fun. I did miss the excitement that was gone while I didn't have a DSM.

[blackawdtsi]

Good news. I just went through my logs and dynoing I was only at 23psi. Pretty impressive if you ask me, I'm liking this HX40 more and more.

[goodhart]

Fuck thats a scary deal with the wheels, wonder what would cause that?

[blackawdtsi]

Spline drive lug nuts on stock wheels.

The spline drive lug nuts have that 45* flange for aftermarket wheels. The stock wheels require lug nuts with a lip on the inside and a flat flange.

[goodhart]

Oh ok. Dang, hopefully it didn't cause any damage then!

[blackawdtsi]

I don't know how but it didn't. The lug studs are still perfect and the wheels only have a little bit chipped off the outside of the hole. Good ol DSM.
